Moving Forward: The Adelante Mujeres Blog

Join us this Saturday as we march in celebration and solidarity of women and Latinos in our community!

Our Adelante Mujeres staff, supporters, participants, volunteers, and allies will be marching to champion women's rights and the rights of every member of our vibrant and diverse community. This is a peaceful demonstration.

The Women’s March on Portland is “a movement of solidarity for those facing oppression or fear as our country faces uncertain times under a new presidency.” The march coincides with the Women’s March on Washington, and many other sister marches that will take place both inside the U.S. and internationally.

Have a meet-up-if-you-get-separated plan. Do not count on your cellphones for this purpose.

Write important information on your forearm in Sharpie. (Emergency contact, drug allergies, etc.) In fact, bring a Sharpie with you to share with others for this purpose.

Stay hydrated and never pass up an opportunity to use a toilet.

LISTEN to the energy and calmly leave the vicinity if you have any doubts about anything. These are intended to be peaceful gatherings, but there have been intimations that infiltrators will try to incite violence and make it look like the protesters caused it.
